Injured Suzuki MotoGP rider Joan Mir to return in Misano test

Suzuki rider Joan Mir will return to MotoGP action at this week's two-day Misano test after missing the last two races through injury.

Mir was forced onto the sidelines when he suffered a 300km/h (186mph) Turn 1 crash during post-race testing at Brno earlier this month, and was diagnosed with lung contusions.

Having spent several days in hospital in Brno, Mir returned home to Barcelona, but missed that weekend's Austrian Grand Prix and did not recover in time to take part in last weekend's British GP at Silverstone.
